| Description of the problem | Intermittent lag-and-leap/surge-and-buck issues. While making a right turn onto a major thoroughfare, lost power to the engine, and upon giving a small amount of additional throttle, power came back full force, and front tire lost contact with the ground briefly. Having attributed the issue to being a new rider, practice was engaged the same evening. Extreme issues followed, including stalling three times while attempting to cross an intersection, and an extremely unsafe ride home followed, luckily without major incident. Motorcycle was towed into the shop the following day at 90 miles, and the fuel pump was replaced. Issues have not raised themselves again since the repair, however, as some have stated they came back, and hd otherwise has not issued a recall, i add my complaint to the list in the hopes that others will not be put into danger by this potentially very unsafe condition. |
